“From the start, I had a lot of desire to work harder and have more motivation than anyone else.”

Yep, I was lucky enough to invite another true legend onto the show for episode 022: none other than the great Travis Rice, a towering presence in snowboarding culture since he exploded onto the scene back in 2001.

Today Travis stands as one of the undisputed greatest of all time. With his riding, his approach to arenas such as AK, his films or pioneering contests such as Ultranatural, it is no exaggeration to say that he has set the snowboarding agenda for the best part of two decades, and shows no sign of slowing down any time soon.

So when he agreed to sit down with me in London in October 2017 to look back over his career, I was naturally pretty stoked. And Travis didn’t disappoint, getting right into the spirit of the podcast as we looked back over the key milestones of his career.
